Bergman's primary target is the foppish critic (Jarl Kulle) who sniffs out the "personal details" of Felix's life, even appropriates one of his mistresses. He composes critical jargon so dense that he himself cannot penetrate it ("What the hell do I mean by that?"), writes atrocious music, and finally wheedles Felix into playing it. Once compromised, the cellist collapses, corporeally and artistically kaput...
Operating on an almost mythic basis, Bergman uses boatrides and water to represent fertility in its many aspects. In the first vignette, Rakel (Anita Bjork) makes love to Kaj (Jarl Kulle) in a boathouse after a swim; Marta (Maj-Britt Nilsson) and her Bohemian seducer Martin (Birger Malmsten) spend a good part of their Parisian romance rowing in the country; and, finally, the younger sister elopes with her boyfriend in a motorboat...
Abracadabra! The Evil One relieves Don Juan (Jarl Kulle) of his atrocious eternal torment, seduction without satisfaction, and restores him to life with infernal instructions: lance that sty.

He stares in dismay. What...
Rising last week to fight the measure, Conservative Leader Jarl Hjalmarson demanded on behalf of the largest opposition party that the government instead reduce spending, increase individual contributions to old-age pensions and health insurance.

This put the Communists, on whose seven votes Socialists rely for an overall majority in both houses, on the spot. If they brought the Socialist government down they would be handing power to the Conservatives. Reluctantly, the Communists...
...Tyrone family does not make a pretty picture. The mother (Inga Tidblad) is a dope fiend. The father is an actor (as O'Neill's father was) and a monumental skinflint. Jamie Tyrone is a wastrel and a drunkard like his father, and Edmund (Jarl Kulle), obviously patterned on O'Neill himself, is a consumptive. These four haunted characters spend their long day's journey into night gnawing at each other. They sit around the living room table drinking, talking, baring their minds, hating each other, yet cemented together in one miserable unit of family love...
